What’s happening? First,
I’m trying not to forget:
Genies Meeting this Friday, February 15 at 1:00
It would be a sad situation if I forgot. Thursday and Friday are forecast to be 40+
degrees. If the Ferndale Library is
open, I plan to be there. Whenever the
weather is bad, you can check the KGMI School and Business closings. Under the Whatcom County Library System, they
will list which libraries are closed.
You got it. I plan to be there.
By now you know that January is always my time to tackle
organizing. I went through my stacks of
papers and made a new folder system for active projects. Boy, did that feel
good! Then I cleaned up a list of 250+ genealogy
things to do. Many items were just things to remember so I put them in a safe place.
I thought about what I need to move myself toward being a
better, more effective genealogist.
TaDa! “Research Like a Pro”
14-day Mini Challenge. I don’t usually post other people’s work, but I really want
to get your attention. Here's a good link for more info: https://familylocket.com/research-like-a-pro-part-1-whats-your-question/
This Friday I will tell you how my Mini Challenge turned
out. You will hear about my Objective
which was to research my aunt Betty Hearn, my dad’s sister, and learn about her
husband who was a distant cousin (or so I thought). I didn’t know Aunt Betty but once when I met
her, she told me she and her husband went to Kentucky to get married. She whispered, “They’ll let anybody get
married in Kentucky.”
I was familiar with the “Research Like a Pro” process
from listening to their podcasts and I knew I would have many technical
challenges on the way. I would need to
learn about Google Drives, Docs and Sheets, posting and commenting on Facebook,
snipping newspaper articles, and use many new-to-me document collections.
Get ready for Friday.
Bring some “show and tell”. Not
the kind my grandson brings to kindergarten but share some tips or plans or
questions.
Bundle up and be safe!
